What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Hampshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hampshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children benefit from an effective key-person system and this helps them to settle well. Children have warm bonds with staff. They show that they feel very happy, safe and emotionally secure. Babies enjoy cuddles with staff. Routines, such as nappy changing, are conducted in a sensitive manner. Toddlers and older children are confident, make friends easily and show a positive attitude to their learning.
Children have a clear understanding of staff expectations for behaviour and of the routines of the day. Older children are very keen to show their awareness of the nursery rules. For instance, they respond enthusiastically during an activity using a toy with removable body parts, and explain that his eyes relate to 'looking eyes', his ears to 'listening ears', his hands mean 'kind hands' and his mouth 'a quiet mouth'. They laugh together as they recall that his bottom means to 'sit on our bottom'.
Children are gaining knowledge across all seven areas of learning. They benefit from the provider's curriculum, which includes planned topics to build on their interests and their understanding of the wider world. They enjoy activities that help to broaden their skills, such as sports and Spanish sessions. Children are eager to join in with all their activities. They show a positive attitude and a willingness to take part. All children show readiness for the next stages of learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff support to help them implement the curriculum for younger children and build more precisely on what children already know and understand n enhance transition times for babies to further improve the quality of their learning experiences.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
